A first float diverter is located within the supply circuit.
Abstract:
A support grate for a household cooking appliance includes a plurality of spokes with at least one portion on which a cooking article can be supported and at least one pad of elastic material for supporting the grate on a surface of the household appliance. The pad is of a polymeric material having a thermochromic pigment dispersed therein and causing the pad to change in a color thereof at a first preset temperature.
Abstract:
A dishwasher comprising a projection means having a concentration lens for concentrating a light beam coming from the light source, said concentration lens being external to the door and solidly constrained to a frame that encloses said access opening.The light beam is projected by the lens towards the exterior of the dishwasher. Downstream of the lens, the light beam extends in a substantially horizontal direction. Downstream of the lens, the light beam intersects an imaginary vertical upwards projection of an upper edge (30) of the door (3) considered in the closed position.
Abstract:
Spraying device for washing machine, in particular a dishwasher, comprising an impeller provided with blades on the upper part as to receive an axial flow of a washing fluid and to deviate said flow in substantially radial direction, a lower cage defining a containment compartment having an upper access opening for the insertion of the impeller, and an upper closing cover, firmly applicable superiorly on the top of the cage to close the containing compartment.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cooking appliance, in particular for household use, comprising:at least one cooking compartment cooking foodstuffs, said at least one cooking compartment being obtained in a muffle the cooking appliance and being delimited by a bottom wall, a back wall, a top wall, a first side wall and a second side wall of said muffle;at least one lighting device associated with said muffle to allow illuminating the cooking compartment;The invention is characterized in that said at least one lighting device is positioned substantially in proximity to a front frame of the muffle and in correspondence with a first upper corner of said muffle, said at least one lighting device being associated with said muffle in a manner such as to generate a light beam having an axis substantially directed towards a central portion of said at least one cooking compartment.
Abstract:
A toaster includes a first heating compartment, a first heating element associated with the first heating compartment, and a control unit in communication with the first heating element for executing an activation of the heating element by providing a current thereto and a deactivation of the heating element by disconnecting the current therefrom, the control unit further executing a main heating program comprising a succession of activations, separated by respective deactivations.
Abstract:
A toaster includes a first heating compartment, in which a food to be heated is positionable and a first heating element associated with the first heating compartment and adapted to heat the food positioned in said at least one heating compartment. The toaster further includes a first detection device for recognizing a thickness the food and generating a corresponding detection signal and a control unit acting upon said first heating element, including executing a heating program as a function of said detection signal.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a freezing phase in a single-control combined type refrigeration appliance comprises activating said freezing phase, including turning on a compressor and monitoring only a refrigerator temperature of a refrigerator compartment and a evaporator temperature of an evaporator associated with the refrigerator and a freezer. During the freezing phase, if the refrigerator temperature is greater than a predetermined upper refrigerator threshold, a fan associated with the refrigerator compartment is turned on until said refrigerator temperature is lower than a predetermined lower refrigerator threshold. Further, if the evaporator temperature is less than a predetermined lower evaporator threshold, the fan is turned on until the evaporator temperature is above a predetermined upper evaporator threshold. If the refrigerator temperature is lower than a predetermined minimum refrigerator temperature, the compressor is turned off. The method further includes deactivating said freezing phase after a given time has elapsed following said activation.
Abstract:
A household cooking appliance, in particular an oven, comprises a cooking chamber defined by a muffle having a flue with a fume outlet at an upper wall of the muffle, and a front door, for opening and closing the cooking chamber. The appliance further comprises a delivery channel, defined by a duct body that extends above the upper wall of the muffle, the duct body having an outlet of the delivery channel that is substantially at a front region of the appliance, above an upper portion of the door, and having a fume inlet in a lower wall of the duct body, which is in fluid communication with the fume outlet of the muffle and with the delivery channel. Operatively associated to the duct body is a ventilation assembly, so as to draw in fumes from the fume outlet of the muffle and expel them from the outlet of the delivery channel, the ventilation assembly being in a rear end region of the duct body that is generally opposite to the outlet of the delivery channel. The ventilation assembly comprises a radial fan with a centrifugal impeller inside the duct body, the centrifugal impeller being positioned above the fume inlet of the duct body substantially coaxial thereto and to the fume outlet of the muffle in such a way that at least the fumes are drawn in from the fume outlet substantially in the direction of the axis (X) of the impeller and forced in a radial direction into the delivery channel for being expelled from the corresponding outlet. The rear end region of the duct body has a generally rounded peripheral profile so as to form a volute of the radial fan, the duct body preferably having a shape generally tapered towards its rear end region and comprising a lower half-shell and an upper half-shell. Provided inside the duct body, within the boundaries of the delivery channel, is a flow-deflector element configured for rendering the flow forced by the centrifugal impeller into the delivery channel uniform.
